Harder Cards

Well, a hammer fell down on a .44 PrimerAnd that was one less problem in South Carolina tonightWrong or rightShe just looked to me as she finished her taleThe blank expression went another pale shade of grayThere was nothing to sayIn the shadows of her face I saw the scarsThat you get when you live where love is hardAnd she saidDon't you sit and judge me from some high and mighty seatDon't you shrug it off until you've walked a mile in my bare feetThere are people that you pass by every dayWith harder cards than yours in life to playWell, I put the cuffs on her and sat her in the carWalked inside, he was layin' on the floor stone deadBeen shot in the headThere were whiskey bottles and dope by the chairA starving baby with nothing to wear but tearsSo the picture was clearHe had finally pushed her way across the lineAnd the badge I wore was losing all its shineAnd she saidDon't you sit and judge me from some high and mighty seatDon't you shrug it off until you've walked a mile in my bare feetThere are people that you pass by every dayWith harder cards than yours in life to playI just stood there thinkin' how justice is blindBut after thirty five years you learn to read the signsSo I made up my mindI took the cuffs of her and I walked her back inWiped the gun off and wrapped it in his right handWhere it should've beenAnd the morning paper read in black and whiteIt's just another senseless case of suicideSuicideOh, but don't you sit and judge me from some high and mighty seatDon't you shrug it off until you've walked a mile along my beatThere are people that you pass by every dayWith harder cards than yours in life to playWell, a hammer fell down on a .44 Primer
